Taking place in 1895 this non-fiction book follows the the disappearance of 26 year old Bridget Cleary, who was thought to be a changeling, left behind by fairies or evil spirits. When her burned body was found, eight family members, including her husband, were arrested. This occurrence played into the hands of the English, who at the time were fighting Irish home rule. Excellent book.
